About “The Hamilton Mixtape”

Writer and star of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical In the Heights, Lin-Manuel Miranda performs “The Hamilton Mixtape” at the White House Evening of Poetry, Music, and the Spoken Word on May 12, 2009. He was accompanied by Alex Lacamoire.

The song is about Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton and is rapped from the perspective of Aaron Burr. Aaron Burr was Thomas Jefferson’s Vice President who shot Hamilton in a duel.

Miranda developed this idea further, and it evolved into the Broadway musical, Hamilton.
